About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated directly off Interstate 94 at Exit 178 in Clearwater, Minnesota, 94 Park Place (partnered with Truck Parking Club) is an expansive, purpose-built commercial truck and trailer parking yard. Engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of professional freight haulers, owner-operators, and fleet carriers, this open-air, heavy-duty surface facility spans two dedicated staging areas: Lot 1 and Lot 2. Because it is completely open-air without overhead height restrictions, low-clearance overhangs, or parking deck ceilings, the lot provides infinite vertical clearance. It easily accommodates full 53-foot tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, bobtails, flatbeds, refrigerated trailers (reefers), intermodal chassis, car haulers, wide oversized vehicles, and hotshot rigs, as well as support pickup trucks and personal vehicles left by drivers while on the road.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically located halfway between the Twin Cities metropolitan area and St. Cloud, Clearwater serves as a critical logistics corridor on the Upper Midwest I-94 shipping route. 94 Park Place offers unmatched proximity to premier driver amenities and dining venues within an easy 5-to-10-minute walk or a two-minute drive:

Clearwater Travel Plaza: Located directly across the interchange, featuring the famous Nelson Bros. Restaurant & Bakery, broad fuel islands, clean private showers, driver lounges, and convenience shopping.
Quick Dining: Burger King, Taco Gringo, and Subway are located within a short distance along State Highway 24.
Local Lodging & Services: Several budget-friendly roadside motels, tire centers, and mechanical repair shops are located right off Exit 178.
Outdoor Recreation: For drivers on mandated 34-hour restarts or long rest breaks, the scenic Mississippi River and nearby Clearwater Lions Park are just two miles north.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing the facility is seamless from Interstate 94. Drivers exit at Exit 178 onto State Highway 24, head south for a fraction of a mile, turn onto Opportunity Drive, and follow it into Edison Circle. A broad, paved entrance apron welcomes long-wheelbase combinations without tight pinch-points or curb hazards. Upon entering the shared driveway, the yard splits neatly around a central rock island—Lot 1 branches to the left, while Lot 2 branches to the right. Both sections provide wide turning radii, level gravel base parking, and wide driving lanes that allow effortless straight-line or 45-degree backing. Rapid freeway re-entry gets drivers back onto eastbound or westbound I-94 in less than three minutes.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Advance booking via Truck Parking Club or the 94 Park Place portal is strongly recommended, especially during weekday peak delivery hours when highway rest stops along I-94 fill up before dusk. If your tractor requires engine block heat during sub-zero winter temperatures, make sure to reserve an electrified space ahead of arrival. When approaching the entrance on Edison Circle, follow lot signage closely: steer left of the rock island for Lot 1 assignments or right for Lot 2. Keep your digital reservation confirmation and gate access code readily accessible on your mobile phone or cab dashboard before arriving at the gate.
